Stainless Steel Version of a Popular Mixer
This stainless-steel drum roller mixer can homogenise materials that have separated during storage.
A global healthcare manufacturer needed a reliable way to ensure consistency of raw materials supplied to them in 200-litre drums. The machines needed to mix materials in sealed drums and achieve a homogenous mix.

The Challenge
When materials are stored in drums for long periods, natural separation can occur, causing issues with product quality if nothing is done to rectify it.
At the same time, opening the drum and mixing the contents by hand is labour-intensive and potentially dangerous if operators are exposed to fumes or powders.
The Solution
We designed a stainless-steel version of our Rotary Drum Mixer - the core design features, such as electric-tilting and electric-mixing, were maintained. The steel chassis was altered to use 304-grade stainless steel with a brushed polished finish. The machine can be easily cleaned, ensuring dirt and debris are not allowed to build up.
